Supreme Court considers Trump's power over federal agencies

Season 2025 Episode 342 | 5m 52s

The Supreme Court heard arguments Monday in a legal case that could vastly expand presidential powers. At stake are 90 years of precedent that have kept presidents from being able to remove members of independent government agencies. News Hour’s Supreme Court analyst Amy Howe, co-founder of SCOTUSblog, joins Amna Nawaz to discuss.
